Agree. I actually don't particularly like the floating shelf aspect of the kitchen shelves, I'm intending on getting dirty great cast iron brackets for those, the pic was just to show how reclaimed boards can look good as shelves.
Good advice though - will be taking it in the living room where I'll have a few regular floating shelves.

Those shelves look like they've been made to float on something like this bracket. The brackets don't take a huge amount of weight in my experience.
You'll need to drill out the board using a flat bit in a drill to accommodate the bracket. You need to drill that very, very straight or you'll go out the side of the board.
It's not all that difficult but you'll need decent tools and a bit of patience for this.
